2 great dives July11. Vivian Island was spectacular at 130' with cloud sponges about 6' across. Also saw 2 tiger rockfish, a big ling and on and on. 2nd dive at Blubber Bay Lighthouse where Bill found a pair of wolf eels in 1 den. A great find. Bill is a very good mariner and will take you to his favourite sites and is always game to try new ones.
